Damien Laskaris' POV

"So, how did I do?" I asked Anika after I joined her to have dinner with her after my show. She was listening to the story but I don't think she would believe it. She was not an islander and she had a different culture that she grew up in.

"I must say, you do look charming on the stage," she said seductively as she was sipping on her wine. She was looking at me over the rim of the glass. I was breathing hard as I was trying not to think about her sinful mouth.

Dear Lord! Help me.

I cleared my throat before I was sipping on the wine as well. She put the glass down before she was leaning at me. I don't know what to do since her black currant scent was making me dizzy. I need to fucking calm my wolf which was purring at her innuendos right now.

"How's the moussaka?" I asked her as she was regarding her meal. It was a famous dish here and I wanted to like it. I don't know if I was doing the right thing.

"Hmm, I don't know. I want something else for dessert perhaps to overcome the saltiness of this dish,"

"Salty? My apologies. I don't know that you don't like salty food," I said as I was trying to take it away by asking the waiter before Anika stopped me. She laughed.

"No, it's fine. I don't mean food. I meant something else,'' she said as she was taking the bold move. She was putting her hand on my hand that was on the table and she batted her eyelashes at me.

"Are you done?" She asked as she was playing with my hand. I gulped as the fire was burning slowly in my stomach before I can sense that my boner was coming.

"I need to get the check first, then we can do what you want," I said bluntly before Anika turned her eyes to me. She smirked wickedly.

"Good, I have been waiting for some of my activity to be fulfilled," she said before I asked for the check and we were out of the restaurant at lightning speed. I did not know what she wanted to do but I hope I can endure it until the end.

Maybe I should just kill myself right now.

We were standing at the park that Anika wanted to see so much. She read that it will make anyone's wish to come true. She wished upon the fountain and I wanted to know what she wished for.

"Have you come here often, Damien?" She asked me as we were walking along the trail in the garden before we were looking around. Anika was smiling as the moonlight was shining in the sky. I can sense that my wolf was eager to run in the forest after this night was over.

If it was over.

"No, I don't. I usually don't spend much time in town. I was more of an outdoor guy," I said as Anika was looking at me. She nodded.

"Do you like the forest or something?" She asked as I chuckled at her curiosity. I was staring at the forest that was in front of the park before we stopped to view the sculpture.

"If I have to tell you, then I might have to kill you,"

"Oh, so mysterious. What are you trying to conceal, Mr. Laskaris?" Anika asked me before she was staring at me as we were standing in front of the sculpture of Aphrodite that was in uncensored clothes. It was a worship of the Ancient Greeks. I gulped.

'Nothing from you but I can't tell you until we mate,' I said as my wolf growled. He wanted me to claim this little redhead and make her come and scream my name. I felt the boner as I was breaking the eye contact.

"Nothing. I just don't get into detail with just anyone," I said as I felt the breeze on my cheeks. She sighed.

"Am I just anyone, Damien?" Anika asked before I turned to look into her violet eyes. They were glowing right now and not just that, I think I saw the emotions behind them as well.

Frustration, desire, lust, and something that I don't want to be so sure.

Love.

I gulped as I was looking at her, taking a step closer to me until there was merely an inch between us.

"Ms. Regio—"

"So formal now? Are you afraid of me, Damien? Afraid to feel the attraction between us? I don't know what was going but I wanted you to know that I felt something for you like no other," she whispered as she was playing with my button. I don't think I wanted her to remove her hands from my body.

Imagine if she was playing with…

I jerked when she was grazing her hands on my manhood. I was staring at her as she was smirking wickedly at me. I never saw this side of Anika Regio before and we have spent some time now together.

"Anika," I said as she was tilting her head.

"Yes?" She replied. I gulped as I was looking at the park. There was no one here. The locals were afraid to come out after 7 PM as they always believe the wolves would come and catch them. I was thankful for that at least now.

"We cannot do this right now. We're in public," I said before Anika was wounding her hands around my neck. She pulled me closer before she was breathing on my mouth. I can taste the champagne on her breath from before.

"So, what are we going to do about it then? What would your choice be, Damien? Afraid and let me go, or seize the moment and ravish me? Hmm? Which one will it be?" She asked me before my wolf was trying to take control. I took a deep breath before I was pushing her off me.

"I'm sorry, I can't—" all my protest was in my throat when she kissed me. Anika Regio, my client, was kissing me, the tour guide. I don't think it would come to this but I don't just flirt with my client.

Even she was a tempting one.

"No," I said as I was pushing her off. She felt to the ground before she was staring at me, breathing hard. I was trying to control my wolf from coming out and ravish her on this fucking ground.

'Take her, ravish her, claim her!' My wolf started before I turned around from the tempting image of Anika on the ground with her dress rode to her thighs. It was a very tempting image indeed.

"But—"

"GO!" I said before I went to the forest and I was trying to get as far as I could from that black currant smell. It was too mesmerized that I know I would not control myself if she was near me. I don't know if she was out of the park but I don't care.

I wanted to run away and I had to shift because the calling was too strong. I stripped bare and I shifted into my wolf which ran up to 10 miles from the park in the woods.

I turned to see the heat of Anika was still looking into the forest before my wolf howled at the distance that I put between me and my mate. I was not ready to open up and I know she's a human.

Which means more complication on our mating progress.
